Об исполнителе (группе)
The Klezmatics are globally-renowned world music superstars - and the only klezmer band to win a Grammy award. The Klezmatics emerged out of the vibrant cultural scene of New York City’s East Village in 1986 with klezmer steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while incorporating contemporary themes such as human rights and anti-fundamentalism and eclectic musical influences including Arab, African, Latin and Balkan rhythms, jazz and punk. In the course of over twenty years and nine albums they have stubbornly continued making music that is wild, mystical, provocative, reflective and ecstatically danceable.

Об альбоме (сборнике)
It has been a lot of years since we've heard a recording containing entirely new Klezmatics material-even more if you set aside special projects such as the Woody Guthrie Archive collaborations or their 25th anniversary party. From the opening swirls of 'Der Geler Fink,' followed by a slightly speeded up 'Zol shoyn kumen di geulah' this is a celebration. The sound is occasionally dark; the words span life and love. The music vintage Klezmatics. It sounds good.
In keeping the sometimes darker theme of the recording, we have Chava Alberstein's setting of Zishe Landau's 'Ver firt di ale shifn' (who guides the ships?). The song sinks in, in waves, as the listener reflects on lost children in too many places around the globe. Elsewhere on the album, we encounter not just old and new poems set to new music, but older songs, including some gathered in the last century by folklorists Ruth Rubin and Moishe Beregovski. Fittingly, the album closes with a quiet version of an American Yiddish theatre tune, 'Mazltov,' with which we wish not only ourselves, but the Klezmatics good mazl.
Although much of the new music on the recording is written by Frank London, there are notable new instrumentals by Lisa Gutkin and Matt Darriau, as well as the music to 'Der Mames Shpigl' (My mother's mirror), also by Gutkin.
The recording's name, 'Apikorsim' (heretics) seems to have many meanings. It is the name of the title track, a celebration of breaking the traditional Jewish tao (halakha) in a land far away that may exist only in a dream, or already, here. Sklamberg's words convey a dreamy pleasure. The title is also reflected in the epigram that opens the liner notes, 'The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next,' from Helen Keller. The words to the song were written by a young Harvard instructor, Yuri Vedenyanpin (who also provided a Yiddish translation of a Catalan tolk tune for this recording) and are joined on this recording by a slightly older Yiddish writer, contemporary to the Klezmatics' generation, Michael Wex, whose 'Shushan Purim' adds to the gaity of the recording. The generational meaning of Helen Keller's quote could easily be applied to the Klezmatics successfully breaking and remaking the idea of what Jewish music was a generation ago, now the model for better klezmer bands everyone and no longer sounding so heretical. Be that as it may, this is excellent new music, and it is a joy that the Klezmatics have persevered and continue to write, and to showcase Jewish music, new and old.
